FAQs
Are these placemats heat resistant?
The multiple layers of lacquer offer some protection against heat, but they are not designed to withstand direct contact with very hot dishes straight from the oven or stovetop. It is recommended to use trivets for extremely hot items.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?
No, these placemats are strictly hand wash only. Dishwasher cycles can damage the silver leaf and lacquer finish.
How should I store these placemats?
Store them flat or on their edge in a dry place to prevent warping or scratching. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
What makes each placemat unique?
Each placemat is handcrafted. The silver leaf is applied by hand, piece by piece, and the lacquer is layered and polished manually. These artisanal processes result in slight variations in pattern and finish for every item.
Are these made from real silver?
The placemats are made using genuine silver leaf, which is a very thin layer of real silver applied to a base material. The 'Chic Matte Gold' refers to the overall aesthetic achieved by the silver leaf and the finishing process.
What is the best way to clean spills?
Wipe up spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface for extended periods.
Can I use these outdoors?
These placemats are intended for indoor dining use. Exposure to direct sunlight and moisture outdoors could degrade the finish over time.
Troubleshooting
Placemat appears dull or lacks shine.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure no residue from previous cleaning agents remains. Polish lightly with a dry, soft cloth.
Minor scuff marks or scratches visible.
For very light scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid aggressive rubbing. Deeper scratches may be permanent due to the nature of the silver leaf finish.
Discoloration on the surface.
Ensure the placemat was not exposed to harsh chemicals or prolonged moisture. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If discoloration persists, it may be due to the material reacting with certain substances.
Uneven application of silver leaf or lacquer.
This is a characteristic of the handcrafted process. Minor variations are expected and contribute to the unique nature of each placemat. If the variation is significant and not to your satisfaction, contact customer support.
